Crockpot Italian Beef

Here’s what you’ll need:
2-4lb Chuck roast
Olive oil
1 packet of Good Seasoning Italian Dressing Mix
2 cartons of beef broth
1 jar pepperoncini
3 tbs mild giardiniera
Salt, Pepper, and garlic powder (to coat)

Sub rolls
Freshly sliced mozzarella cheese
Sautéed green peppers (optional)
Tater tots as a side

Here’s how you make it:
1. Remove meat from fridge 30 mins prior to starting Rub olive oil onto the chuck roast and season generously on all sides with the good seasoning packet, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat a skillet on the stove and sear each side of the chuck roast until it develops a crust.
3. Remove from the heat and place the chuck roast into a crockpot.
4. To the crockpot add the entire jar of pepperoncinis, giardiniera, and beef broth to just cover the roast.
5. Put the lid on, and let cook on low for 6-8 hours until meat is fork tender. I usually go to the 8 hour mark.
Once the meat shreds easily with a fork, remove to a bowl and shred with two forks. It's then ready for assembly.
Turn on the broiler:
6. Add the sub rolls to a baking pan, fill them with the beef. Top with a fresh slice of mozzarella cheese then broil in the oven to melt the cheese and toast the bread (1-2 minutes is all they need!)
Remove from oven. Dunk the beef sandwich in the cooking liquid and serve!
Serve with additional gardinara, sautéed green peppers abe tater tots!

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
3 green peppers, one diced, one cut in half
2 red pepper, cut in half, seeds and top removed

1 15 oz jar of marinara sauce
2 cups of cooked white rice (save time and use 5 minute instant rice)

Cheddar cheese

Preheat oven
1. Begin by preparing the peppers to be used (cut two peppers lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and any membrane). Dice the remaining green pepper.
2. Chop onions and garlic, set aside.
3. Prepare the white rice, set aside
3. To a skillet add olive oil, onions and the green pepper. Cook until softened (about 5 minutes).
4. Add the ground beef to the skillet, break apart and cook until browned.
5. Once the meat has fully cooked, add in the garlic and stir until fragrant.
6. To the pan, add in half the jar of sauce along with the 2 cups of rice. Stir until combined. Set aside.
7. Rinse the peppers with water to remove any seeds, add to a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes until tender.
8. Remove from the oven, fill the pepper halves with meat and rice filing. Pour sauce over the tops of each pepper and into the bottom of the dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove, top with cheese and bake until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling (about 15-20 minutes).

Continue until the chicken mixture is gone.

Chili

2 lbs ground beef (85% lean/15% fat)
1 medium onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, diced (adjust seeds depending on how hot you like it 🔥
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
2 cans of water
1 seasoning kit (six guns or Caroll Shelby’s)
1 can of dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1. Start by browning the meat in a heavy-bottomed pan. Once it is no longer pink, add the diced onion, green pepper and jalapeno. Stir until soft.
2. Once softened, add in the entire contents of the two seasoning packets. Stir into mixture and ensure everything is coated. Let cook for 1 minute to toast the seasonings.
3. Then add in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and 2 cans of water. Stir well then cover slightly and bring to a simmer. Let simmer at least 1 hour, but the longer, the better.
4. Taste for seasonings. Adjust as needed. Before you’re ready to serve, add in the kidney beans and stir. (This helps them to just warm rather than to cook and break apart).

Serve with all the toppings: freshly shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, oyster crackers, onions, hot sauce, etc.

This makes for great leftovers and is even better the next day. I hope you enjoy!
